I don't take anything disrespectfully and I hope you didn't either. I feel your thinking is somewhat convoluted, and your examples unrealistic No it isn't and no they're not. Diametrically opposed to yours? Perhaps.. But I think my rationale is pretty clear as was my writing. Everyone has strong opi...

2) Every Law Enforcement Agent I have ever trained was taught (specially for the basic interview position to step backwards with his firearm side leg and twist at the waist slightly so he faces the side. And this bladed body position is the de-facto cause of quotes like "90% of all fights go t...

The only thing about IWB for a fixed blade SPROGGY is the closer that knife is to the body, the more difficulty you're going to have in accessing it. Alot of uniformed guys are taking the Tek-Lok off the Clinch Pick and running it in between the inner and outer belts, sandwiched by the velcro, with ...

Craig, What about Style and Shape? considering a FB that works really well for a smaller range of intended application (reverse edge)...Doc I actually would prefer the P'kal blade configured for FB. Why? Unfortunately I cannot elaborate on that on an internet forum other than saying that my reasons...

Originally posted by sal I would like to know what Southnarc's opinion of style, shape and size would interest him? Sal I think the first thing we'll have to figure out is do we want to do an FB that works really well for a smaller range of intended application (reverse edge) or an FB that works ok...

Hey Mike! I totally forgot about the conference. Nice timing! We'll DEFINITELY have to have a drink on this one.

Hey guys, I waded through the other thread talking about grips and noticed that there was some interest in a fixed blade design. We have spoken with Spyderco about having them produce ShivWorks knives and so far have only looked at options, without commitment. If you guys are interested in seeing ei...

Just to reiterate my points about commitment, decisiveness and violence of action watch this video. Not knife stuff but a great perpective on mindset. Think about WHY Lance Thomas was so succesful. There's nothing defensive about his tactics at all.

I wish I could be there Mike but AGAIN I have a conflict this weekend with a class. I guess the only time I can actually lock in for seing you is New Hampshire next year at the conference. They did reach out to you for that didn't they? It's a good time and good people.

Hi guys. I’m not a regular here but I felt compelled to address some of these issues since I was specifically mentioned. First off let me say that Mike Janich has been very supportive of ShivWorks and me specifically. I consider him a friend and a peer whose contributions to the cutlery and training...

Well I got a chance to meet with Sal over the weekend and look at the mock-up. First off I want to publicly acknowledge Sal and Spyderco's support for this project and thank them for their hard work. They've moved very quickly on this and that's refreshing. Next, I have to say that I'm impressed. Sa...

Has anyone had a compression lock fail? Other than the Gunting, what models use the compression lock?

I think if we can do it right it'll work for just about any grip. As far as steel goes I don't really know. What do you guys think?

I hardly ever post here but I think the world of Sal and I'm a Spyderco fan, having carried them in some form or fashion for fifteen years. brachial_stabber I think you just came over to this forum to start an arguement. If you don't like the knife why bother posting? It's pretty easy to sling sh*t ...

Is there a pic of the ATR anywhere on the forum?

Thanks again Allen!

Thanks Allen I appreciate it. How can I run Linda down? I don't see a list of forum members where I can get her e-mail addy.

Is the Dodo already shipping? If not when is the expected release date?

When will these be available and who from? Are they a dealer exclusive? Will the factory have them in a limited run? I'd really like to buy one when they come out. This is the first time I've seen them.

Thanks guys I appreciate the replies. After handling one again in Atlanta I really think this knife has alot to offer. If Sal made it in a compression lock it would really rock. If you think about the curvature of that blade and then an insertion and tear out at close quarter (grapple range, it's no...
